Hey everyone! Nate Mckim here.
Another week at Cuddy's has gone by along with another series of tasks and challenges. With our second and final open garden/plant sale of the year (Aug 18th, mark it on your calender!) fast approaching we're all working away to make sure everything is in great shape for all of you to see.
Stacy was up from the collage to help this week and its been great having her. Along with the usual tasks completed every week, we've been systematically going from garden to garden weeding, pruning, clipping, dead heading, staking and whatever else is needed to give you guys the best garden viewing experience possible. Our curator, Jeff Simpson also finished catalouging and labeling the newly planted alpine garden! Jeff never gets enough credit on this blog but he should and we're lucky to have had him this summer!
Here's a few shots of some great stuff in bloom and some of this weeks work.

Phlox paniculata 'Shortwood' A great cultivar to try for mildew resistance 


Annual planters provide great summer interest!

That's all for now! Hope to see everyone at the open garden on Aug 18th!
